Throughout September, total precipitation amounts to 77 mm and rain is expected for a bit more than 7 days of the month.

Not exact matches

We extracted 3 - hourly 2 m air temperature, dewpoint temperature, surface total precipitation, and 10 m U and V wind components using the ECMWF GRIdded Binary Application Programming Interface (GRIB - API) and used them to derive daily maximum and minimum temperature, maximum and minimum relative humidity, maximum wind and total daily precipitation amount and daily precipitation duration (Supplementary Table 3).

In locations that are accustomed to getting snow during the winter, the total amount of snow each year is already decreasing as the planet warms from increasing greenhouse gases; the percentage of precipitation falling as snow is on the decline, with more of it falling as rain.

The total precipitation for the month of October amounts to a respectable 53 mm and rain is expected on 4 days of the month across the archipelago.

Monthly total precipitation for the month of April amounts to a respectable 132 mm, which is more or less evenly distributed across much of the southern part of Maldives.

On average in the United States, the amount of rain falling during the heaviest 1 percent of rainstorms has increased nearly 20 percent during the past 50 years — almost three times the rate of increase in total precipitation.4, 5 The Midwest saw an even larger average increase of 31 percent, surpassed only by the Northeast (at 67 percent).4 Scientists attribute the rise in heavy precipitation to climate change that has already occurred over the past half - century.6

Conversely, precipitation totals at the higher end of the spectrum typically only contribute a small amount to the annual totals.

Snowfall varies across the region, comprising less than 10 % of total precipitation in the south, to more than half in the north, with as much as two inches of water available in the snowpack at the beginning of spring melt in the northern reaches of the river basins.81 When this amount of snowmelt is combined with heavy rainfall, the resulting flooding can be widespread and catastrophic (see «Cedar Rapids: A Tale of Vulnerability and Response»).82 Historical observations indicate declines in the frequency of high magnitude snowfall years over much of the Midwest, 83 but an increase in lake effect snowfall.61 These divergent trends and their inverse relationships with air temperatures make overall projections of regional impacts of the associated snowmelt extremely difficult.

In weather systems, convergence of increased water vapor leads to more intense precipitation and the risk of heavy rain and snow events, but may also lead to reductions in duration and / or frequency of rain events, given that total amounts do not change much.

I've presented videos and gif animations to show the impacts of ENSO on ISCCP Total Cloud Amount data (with cautions about that dataset), CAMS - OPI precipitation data, NOAA's Trade Wind Index (5S - 5N, 135W - 180) anomaly data, RSS MSU TLT anomaly data, CLS (AVISO) Sea Level anomaly data, NCEP / DOE Reanalysis - 2 Surface Downward Shortwave Radiation Flux (dswrfsfc) anomaly data, Reynolds OI.v2 SST anomaly data and the NODC's ocean heat content data.

Contours are rainfall totals from the Canadian Precipitation Analysis, which combines weather model output with station measurements to estimate regional precipitaPrecipitation Analysis, which combines weather model output with station measurements to estimate regional precipitationprecipitation amounts.

For a given month, season or year, the amount of precipitation on days which exceed the 95th percentile is accumulated and divided by the total amount of precipitation of that month, season or year.

Together with the progressive shortening of the ISM season and gradual southward retreat of the summer ITCZ, the total amount of monsoon precipitation decreased in those areas located at the northern fringe of the ISM domain, but increased in areas closer to the equator.

Precipitation — the total amount of water hitting the ground in the form of rain, snow, hail or other forms — is basically a measure of how convective the atmosphere is, he said, and convection generates lightning.

Widespread increases in heavy precipitation events have been observed, even in places where total amounts have decreased.

Basic theory, climate model simulations and empirical evidence all confirm that warmer climates, owing to increased water vapour, lead to more intense precipitation events even when the total annual precipitation is reduced slightly, and with prospects for even stronger events when the overall precipitation amounts increase.

As the Earth warms, the amount of rain or snow falling in the heaviest one percent of storms has risen nearly 20 percent on average in the United States — almost three times the rate of increase in total precipitation between 1958 and 2007.

Had this been true, condensation in hydrostatic equilibrium could have never changed the surface pressure prior to precipitation fallout, because condensation of gas (vapor) into liquid does not change the total amount of matter.
